Description
Hay Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed from yellow shale with granite quoins, dressings, and a porch. It features a scantle slate roof and brick gable chimneys, and has an L-shaped layout that includes the original outshut. The symmetrical front has two storeys and three windows. The granite ashlar open porch has a low pitched gable with cavetto moulded coping. The windows are later additions, consisting of four-paned sashes set in slightly arched openings with granite voussoirs. On the left side wall, there is an external chimney breast with a brick oven extension topped with a slate roof. A slightly lower stair window is located at the rear, along with other back windows that are also sashes. The back door leads into the outshut near the angle.
Inside, the layout features a central passage between the front rooms that leads to the main open-welled stair, which has a wreathed newel, a mahogany handrail, square balusters, and Vitruvian scroll detail. There is a pantry behind the room to the right and a kitchen at the back to the left, which continues under the outshut to an adjoining dairy. A second stair in the kitchen features 17th-century oak panelling with guilloche carving in the top rail, which survives from an earlier house. A well is located near the back door.
